I had just gotten out of the hospital from having my very first stroke and picked up my daughter. The room was comfortable, the internet mostly worked (frequent disconnections), and the breakfast was decent. Front desk staff was friendly. The second elevator was out of commission so the wait to get to/from the room resulted in us taking the stairs a few times.

Usually, I give this place 4-5 stars, as I frequently stay here while in town. However, this stay was just not as enjoyable as most. The second elevator of the 6 floor hotel has been out of order for nearly a year. Sometimes you're waiting 10 minutes to get to or from you room. The internet (WiFi - They don't have ethernet in the rooms) does not stay connected longer than a few minutes so forget about getting any work done or streaming a movie. The cable also cuts in and out (pixelated as if the connection is weak) so TV is subpar. The microwaves and refrigerators are always pushed back so you have to pull them towards you if you want to use them. They usually have a great breakfast, but I missed it all 3 days on this stay, unfortunately. I was given a late checkout. I confirmed it at the front desk before going to my room. They're usually really good about not bothering me (as I put the DND on the doorknob). This time, they knocked at 11:30. I politely said I would be out at 1. Then again at 12:15. I said I'd be out at 1, again. Then the housekeeper argued "no you out at 12" .. I said "please go see the front desk".. I tried to call them on the phone in the room but guess what? The phones do not work in the room. So a few minutes later the front desk agent comes back with the housekeeper and they knock AGAIN! This is harassment at this point. Last time I received a great gesture in the form of a card. This time, the housekeeper almost caused me to have a second stroke.

The elevator and beds need to be updated. The elevator was out of order and I stayed on the 4th floor. The staff only put out of order signs on the main lobby elevators.

Staff was very courteous. We were in North Carolina for a funeral. Nancy, (i believe her name was) gave us a sympathy card. That was such a nice and sweet gesture. I rated this stay at Comfort Inn University with 5 stars, and would recommend it.

Normally, a good deal at this hotel. This time, exhausted from international travel and sick, I wasn't able to get hot water in the shower. I eventually figured out myself that the shower handle was placed backwards in the two rooms in which I tried. So opening the faucet fully would lead to ice cold water in middle of winter, no matter how long you kept it on, of course. No help was really provided other than an attempt to switch rooms, which led to frustration when it was the same on second room. Only a 10% refund was eventually extended... Will they fix this issue?
